Pets Best is the BEST!

I've been with Pets Best for 9 years and they have always been Great! They're quick to process claims, give detailed information on the money you receive back and very helpful. I started coverage 9 years ago when my dog was a puppy. As she's gotten older, the rates have increased (not by a crazy amount though) but I have never once thought about looking for another company. They are just that good!

Grateful and impressed

Between the online chats and actually calling to speak with someone at Pets Best, I am so grateful and impressed with all the help I received! I called one night and spoke to a woman (I'm kicking myself that I didn't write down her name!!) but she was AMAZING! She answered all my questions and even provided suggestions on how to get the most out of my policy! Thank you for hiring such wonderful people!!!

Easy, no hassle way to get reimbursed.

My dog had ACL surgery. I had numerous invoices and it was very easy to scan all of them onto the Pets Best site. I received notification within 24 hours and payment within a week. It's an easy, no hassle way to get reimbursed. Keep up the great service.
